Profile

Founded in 1993, COCUZZA is an independent and multi-practice law firm. Renowned in the Italian legal landscape thanks to its steady organic growth, the Firm now brings together a team of over 30 professionals and provides comprehensive assistance to businesses and individuals across a wide range of legal matters. What makes its profile unique is its extensive expertise in retail and commercial real estate, sectors in which it boasts recognized competence. INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE For over 30 years, COCUZZA has been assisting businesses in their growth processes, both domestically and internationally, leveraging strong ties with global networks and international associations. COCUZZA’s team is particularly active in the Italo-German trade sector, with qualified lawyers in Germany and a fully bilingual team with extensive experience in the field. The Firm assists both German-speaking clients investing in Italy—supporting the establishment and management of their Italian branches—and Italian companies with commercial interests or investments in German-speaking countries.

Through its French Desk, COCUZZA supports French companies investing in Italy and Italian businesses operating in France. The bilingual team, with dual qualifications or extensive experience in both jurisdictions and a direct local presence, provides multidisciplinary assistance in corporate law, M&A, commercial contracts, employment, restructuring and insolvency, compliance, and litigation.
